I think that is true with a lot of fish species. XD

Would the tidal (seiche) chart for a freshwater lake look the same as the tidal chart of the ocean? Coelacanth have been reported in lakes, too...
Just a thought. |
not entirely true, i believe they evolved from freshwater to saltwater fish so the current ones only live in saltwater.

Where the "expedition" was heading?
It was speculated that we should consider where the expedition was heading.
The coelacanth in the photo on Josh's site is a Madagascar coelacanth.
"The Coelacanth was first found off the coast of Madagascar in the Comoros Islands on December 23rd, 1938 by Marjorie-Courtney Latimer. The Coelacanth has also been found in several locations in Indonesia, as of 1998, in Sulawesi (Fox, 1998). These are the only locations that live Coelacanths have been found. The Indonesian Coelacanths are brown in colour, while the Madagascar Coelacanths are the steel blue colour (McGrouther, 1998)."

Being in the southern hemisphere, the moon's phases, I believe, are not the D - O - C as in the northern hemisphere, but C - O - D, so I don't see how any southern hemisphere location (including all of the abovementioned locales where the coelacanth has been found) meshes up with the charts posted on HLM.

yes i know that but thank you.:)But i figure its going to play a part in this somehow .I think the moon and the times will be important at some point.And hopefully something occurs this weekend.Even if its just a little clue.

maybe, i think its likely, but ive also noticed that between the 20th to the 22nd on the hlm calender it has the same moon shape aswell but with inverse colours, does this mean anything? |
If you're referring to the slice of the moon changing from light to dark, that's just the waxing and waning phases of the moon.
Just signifies we orbit the sun on a regular basis.

Over in the HLM thread, Christian Watson posted that he found a near tide chart match to the times on HLM calendar. It looked really close and I also noticed that on July 10th, there was a single high tide. To me, that seemed to explain why there were some overlapping times.
But the thing is that the overlapping times actually occur on July 11th. So I went searching again. Lo and behold I was brought back to Cape Cod. There is only a single high tide in Cape Cod on July 11th and it happens during the middle of our overlapping times.
CapeTides link
So I'm back to thinking it's Cape Cod. There isn't an exact match but all of the time ranges we have from the HLM calendars start and end before and after the high tides in Cape Cod. The closest I cold find was Nantucket Sound.
I'm still not willing to say it's a definite match because there is still a lot of ocean to cover. It just seems very likely to me at this point.

I think that the only information the charts are supposed to give at this point is the location that they belong to. once we know that then we can math a time zone to it.

My original thought was we would have to match the moon on the chart with the rp.com moon and something would happen.But now i just dont know .The chart has to have something in it.The worse part is it just may not be in june or july.It could play aprt in for all we know.

Agreed that the tide chart raises as many questions as it seems to offer clues. The times stated are fairly "useless" for any online ARG prompting without a specific time zone designated to them.
We can assume an East Coast zone by other game clues, but have no such direction.
With moon positions and tides being a local phenomenon, I can't see an ARG clue/event triggering at '10:38 am your local time' because it would essential have to re-trigger 24 times on a given day for international play.
The times overlapping still baffle me as that would seem utterly contrary to tides, let alone tide charts. A puzzlement.

nicely done.But what can we use it for now is the question still.
